Legis NGO is opening a call for youth participants from the Republic of Macedonia for the purpose of taking part in a one-day intercultural/sports workshop. The workshop will take place on 31 March in Tabanovce transit centre for refugees, Kumanovo.

The workshop aims to achieve increased awareness among local population on migration-related challenges and issues. The youth from Macedonia will have the unique and rare opportunity to meet the refugees staying in the transit centre in Tabanovce, discuss, exchange ideas and hear the refugee perspective from a human viewpoint beyond the mainstream media representation. And most importantly – have loads of fun!

10 young people will be able to apply for the first workshop, which will be facilitated by a trained youth worker. The working language of the workshop is English. Travel costs will be fully refunded (please note that only public transport costs, such as bus/train will be refunded). There will be special transport organized from the centre of Kumanovo to the Tabanovce transit centre.

This project is implemented by Legis with the support of the Capacity development for Selected actors working with asylum seekers in Serbia and Macedonia. The Capacity development for Selected actors working with asylum seekers in Serbia and Macedonia was established by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and is managed by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
